SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONCURRENT DISCOVERY AND SURVEY OF NETWORKED DEVICES

摘要

A system and method for concurrent investigations of network devices in a data communications network. The network includes an examining machine, a secure server, and various target machines. The secure server receives a request from the examining machine to capture volatile data stored in the target machines, and in response, spawns various processing threads that concurrently attempt connections with the target machines. Upon successful connection with the target machines, a plurality of processes for gathering volatile data are concurrently executed on the responding target machines. The secure server receives the volatile data retrieved and transmitted by the responding target machines. The data is aggregated by the secure server, which transmits the data to the examining machine.. The examining machine correlates the received data based on a correlating criteria, and displays the correlated data on a display.
